@PsyChuan@plush.city @robinhood@yiff.life It really helps me find bugs and thus contribute to free and open source projects!

@NeoNacho@mastodon.social @ole@chaos.social @dimsumthinking@mastodon.social Yes, I think so. I'm actually researching (unprofessionally) it out of interest, and it's often referred to as "Machine Unlearning" in literature, in case you want to look more into it.

@zotero@fosstodon.org ...and thank you for both:

• making it free and open source software, and
• maintaining it so well for such a long time!

I'm a regular user of Zotero and I find it extremely quick and intuitive as well as customisable to my workflow!

@ole@chaos.social The current laws really need to be updated for these GenAI systems, so consensus is reached about how to handle situations like this. With laws that explicitly place guidelines on the development of these models, ethics would be easier for both the systems' creators and users.

@cschum@mastodon.social @webmink@meshed.cloud Thanks for sharing this! I've heard people scared of using OSS projects because they sometimes become "dead projects" (abandonware). This reminder that a high diversity and number of contributors/maintainers is an antidote to abandonware, and that volunteers aren't the problem, is definitely welcome.

@zotero@fosstodon.org @_dmh@mastodon.social Thank you for bringing this to my attention. [Next sentence added in a later edit.] I personally didn't know the context and have no bad feelings.

@_dmh@mastodon.social @zotero@fosstodon.org That makes sense - like many open-source projects Linux needs publicity from the community wherever possible!

@akademy I'd love to watch this, but may not be able to do so live. Will it be recorded for later viewing?
